Meanwhile the boysÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ track team turned in the best performance of the year.

Parker Excels Indoors

Senior standout Eliza Parker turned in a fine season-best time of 9.09 in the 55 meter hurdles to place first for the Oswego girls’ indoor track team at the recent George Constantino Memorial Invitational.

Parker, a State Meet Finalist last winter, is currently ranked among the top hurdlers and sprinters in the section.

She also finished third in her section of the 600 meter dash, with a personal best time of 1:51.5.

In the 4 x 200 meter relay, the Lady Bucs ran a season-best time of 2:03.7, to finish third in their section of the relay, behind the fine efforts of Alexis Files, Rachel Healy, Whitney Ford, and Kaylie Allen.

Other strong efforts for Oswego were turned in by Ashley Deveney in the shot put and Bridgette Auyer in the 1500 meter run, with a season best effort.

The Lady Bucs will return to action on Jan. 23, traveling to the Lusk Field House on the SUNY Cortland campus, for the Red Dragon Invitational.

A last-second shot nearly sent the Oswego-Nottingham boysÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ basketball game into overtime on Thursday night.

However, the Bulldogs escaped with a nail-biting 51-48 verdict over the Bucs.

Oswego played solid ball throughout as they were in contention. Entering the final eight minutes the Bucs held aÃ‚Â 41-37 advantage, but in the last quarter Nottingham outscored the home teamÃ‚Â 14-7 for the three-point victory.

Narrow Defeat For Varsity Hockey

In a game that featured end to end action, the Oswego High School boysÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ varsity hockey team lost 1-0 to the Ithaca Little Red on Thursday night at Crisafulli Rink.

Ithaca scored its lone goal with 1:04 remaining in the first period as the Buccaneers had nearly killed off a penalty.

Oswego was on the penalty kill for one minute and twenty-nine seconds, but with just one second left on the penalty the puck was fired past Oswego goalie Matt Howard for what proved to be the lone tally of the night.

Tyler St. Denis had the lone goal with Zach Hughes and Austin Romantic assisting.

Both goalies proved solid between the pipes as Howard finished with 23 and Ithaca keeper Cooper Belyea finished with 30.

Best Performances For Bucs Indoors

Competing in the John Aracaro Meet at Manley Fieldhouse on the Syracuse University campus, the Oswego boys’ varsity indoor track team continued to show improvement and turned in its best performance of the campaign.

Oswego was paced by the 4×200 relay team of Cory Keefe (24.5), Eli Tyler (23.8), Dustin Searor (26.0) and Otavio Vianna (25.7) to finish fifth in a 25-team field as the 1:41.67 was the best of the year.
